I respect his decision. Don't know if his immune system would hold up if Covid came a knocking. But JC isn't short on guts and determination. I know he gets his knocks for multiple injuries but the guy remains one of my favorite Steelers. 100 percent heart and determination. Conner strong baby show them what you got you are in the clock!

Great write up and insight Jordan, thanks.



Conner has shown in the past he can carry the rock. His durability has been tested but if one remembers correctly, BELL's durability was tested also. MOST RBs who carry the load also carry the injury possibility. Combine that equation with Jame's running the punish type style and WhoALa this is what we've got. I would like to see SBWCMVLT somewhat limit his touches. Maybe this year that happens automatically as the pass will happen a little more than the run. I also want SNELL to get more touches as a tantom to lighten Conner's load. Commen sense tells you when you are up by three scores in the 4th, you can lighten the load.





Salute the nation
